Btw, posting this mainly as transparency for other (esp young) PI's. Looks like I've submitted a little over one app per funding cycle, though overload during COVID was part of this - I have definitely had cycles where I don't apply. And for ones where I'm the "driver" (PI/MPI), it's 1-2 per yr tops

Submitted an R01 last week on a project my lab's worked on for 4+ yrs, & I've debated proposing for 3+ yrs.
This was my 26th NIH app (as PI, MPI, or Co-I) over 7 yrs (5 ND, 1 ND-C, 18 scored, 7 funded, 2 pndg), and this may be the proposal I'm most proud of going in.
Will it matter? Stay tuned...
